Troops to Teachers

Troops to Teachers will provide teacher training opportunities to service leavers – with significant extra benefits.

Pupils deserve exceptional teachers. That’s why the Troops to Teachers non-graduate programme are targeting outstanding Service leavers like you to train as teachers of the future.

We believe that with your skills and experience, you have a great deal to offer our schools. And, in return, we have much to offer you: the opportunity to train for a deeply rewarding career and the sense of doing something that really matters. The Troops to Teachers non-graduate programme is available in England, and is open to all non-graduate Service leavers who are currently in the resettlement cycle.

ITT Funding
